A committee was formed in October 2001 to review the state credentialing standards for school librarians. The current standards were significantly revised by the committee, which was made up of a cross section of school librarians currently employed in schools. The recommendations were reviewed and accepted, with minor changes, by the Council for Teacher Education and the Professional Standards Board. The revised standards are scheduled to be presented to the State Board of Education on October 16, 2002. The hope is that the new standards will become final by July 1, 2003.
